| Karintoh is the name of the snack which is
made of wheat, egg and a bit of sugar. Deep
fried then powdered by sugar cane snow. One
of the best presents/souvenirs of Asakusa
for all ages. Box and ribbon are kawaii as
well. Kozakura in Japanese means small cherry
blossom. Love cute things? |

| There are literally thousands of Dorayaki
sweet shops in downtown Tokyo, but many of
Dorayaki cravers would come to Ueno only
to get this one. Bring into nearby Ueno park
to eat one, you may bring the rest back home
to eat to feel the happiness. Usagi (rabbit)
Manju (sweet) melts so well, too. Expires

| Still alive this modern days, the traditional
way to make this Kintsuba, sweet bean anko
is different from the one of Kuya, no one
can judge which one is better. Sweet and
salt, the combination is somewhat your own
life? Special mouth-watering of Tokugawa
Edo, Tokyo. |
